Liberal or Conservative?
Liberal thinking way of life has always been a huge influence in life, the lesser of two evils or the party that stands for unionization. While growing up, liberal versus conservative were not words readily used by media but the words used to describe my family’s values were democratic. A democrat which in today’s society is labeled “Liberal” voting would help the middle class. My father was considered to be a hard-blue collar worker. The union was a huge asset in our family as it was instrumental for our family to have vision, dental and healthcare benefits. Today’s conservative state these benefits are entitlements. My father was not given an entitlement but …show more content…
It is my opinion that these benefits were earned and by now the money accrued and supposedly set aside should be readily available. Social Security was never meant to be considered a deficit to the budget of our nation. Thus, from my own personal experience and ongoing education has only further cemented my idealistic values towards the liberal view. I will choose my side the liberal side because I want healthcare for all the poor and working families just getting by. I do not believe that the private sector gives a crap about me or wants to help me or anyone else whom struggles out. I believe education is a not a privilege but a right for all citizens of The United States. I believe my side is best suited to help the next generation of thinkers and learners. I am a follower of Christ and I have sworn my oath to God to help the less fortunate among us, without judgement. Also, I believe in civil rights and social equality. If you ask most white republicans they can see no reason or responsibility for the past.... but that is a load of crap to
